Say what?
Erudite - educated, knowledgeable, learned, lettered, literate, scholarly, well-read.
I have never read Chaucer but I just googled 'Chaucer quotes' and could take my pick of them.
I chose this one:
Now I'm wondering about the context. Is he saying that poor men cannot attract women?
Because I haven't read the text, I cannot know exactly what the quote means.
Sorry about taking the thread down a side alley.
Galt is a critter lodging in the mind of a peculiar person.
Saw Rand interview, was worse than I knew.
Objective carried to it's zenith degree is the same as any other philosophy or ideology-dangerous.
Rhetorical-you know the definition, folks like Rand do not, it is inconceivable
that she could err. She would state: they are unclean, non-thinking or worse.
God help us, well Rand had no use for any belief system except hers.
So, our yammering will not alter, change, or modify the other's belief system.

Lara, exactly what passage , chapter and verse, in the Bible states "Salvation wasn't "only offered to the residents of the Middle East". It's offered worldwide but the problem back then was reaching the world. The problem was communication in those days. ".

My post #474 was quoting Nautilus's hypothetical question...not the Bible. Nautilus questioned, "Salvation was only offered to the Middle East?"
Then my answer was that back then they didn't have the capability of Worldwide communication. BUT...
There was a Prophesy in Matthew 24:14 that has been fulfilled today with Internet, Smartphones, TV, radio etc...so now Salvation IS offered worldwide. Here's the quote from the Bible:
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world
as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."
~ Matthew 24:14 (a fulfilled prophesy with the coming of technology)
Those who have not heard the gospel, back then and today...are not held accountable. In other words they receive eternal life. And children under the age of reason are not held responsible.

Another chuckle
It begins
Genesis 3:8
Then the man and his wife heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the breeze of the day, and they hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
Then gets really funny with
Genisis 3.9
Genesis 3:9 King James Version (KJV)
And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
I'm trying to imagine a supernatural being that created heaven & earth. mankind, all the plants & animals needing to ask Where art thou?

Because the Lord God wanted Adam & Eve to admit they they were hiding and to make them aware that it was because they disobeyed God by eating from the Tree of Knowledge and now knew of, and hid, their nakedness.

When I read your post I opened my Bible and
read the previous and subsequent verses to get the context.
That adds clarity. He wanted them to confess their sin.

Lara.perhaps you did not understand my question. You stated , ""Salvation wasn't "only offered to the residents of the Middle East". It's offered worldwide but the problem back then was reaching the world. The problem was communication in those days. " What exact passage of the Bible states that God did offer salvation, " but the problem back then was reaching the world. The problem was communication in those days.". Your answer does bring up another question. You stated,'Those who have not heard the gospel, back then and today...are not held accountable. " So, then, there are two ways of attaining salvation? One of them is being Biblically illiterate. Doesn't that call into question the validity of the other?

I have also, at one time or another, looked up their net worth and their income. Granted, I think they should live more moderately and spend the other part on their profession. But, that is not my concern, and there really is no telling on what they spend it on. You only know what you find in the reports on Google. So, if you look up how much they spend in the 3rd world countries, etc. Maybe that would balance out.

Not a person created is left out! There comes a time when everyone knows there is a supreme something/someone. They may not know his name, or what he is, but He makes Himself known to all.

I am voicing my belief that indeed, this woman was an angel sent for to bring you comfort, she was a kindly looking motherly figure. That, in itself, tells me that she was there to let you know you would be alright. Sometimes there are angels about us and we are unaware. But, it also appears to me that your first guess was she was an angel."Interesting how this thread has morphed from belief in angels to the details of tax law! ( Good way to get me out of a conversation in a hurry.)"
...............that's because since angles do not exist, there is little to no point discussing them. But since churches dodge every tax they possibly can, and leave it to us to make up the difference.....there's a time worthy discussion.
And don't forget Victoria's miracle face creams & skin care products - they makes her look so young.....they work because they're blessed, not because of genetics.....
I actually used to watch Joel because I found him entertaining & his previous sermons were not so religion based; they were more like talking about doing what's right (which I liked). But then he received criticism & his sermons were modified to include more God & Jesus. That's when I lost interest.

You may not use my posts in whole nor in part without quotation marks and you should have enough integrity not to add mockery. It doesn't even make sense.
